New book to explore unconventional love story

On April 8th, WION had an article about a book exploring the cousin marriage of a famous painter:

An upcoming book, "Amrita & Victor", explores the love story between avant-garde artist Amrita Sher-Gil and her husband Victor Egan.

The book, based on archival evidence, aims to bring out the truth of the "misconstrued relationship" the Hungarian-Indian painter shared with Egan who was also her first cousin.

She was born in Hungary and died in British India (now Pakistan).
